Description: The goal of Just Us Children is to provide comprehensive childcare for children and families We believe that each child is an individual who deserves to be respected and appreciated for his or her own unique character. We believe that young children learn best by interacting actively with their environment. We believe that the best curriculum (The Creative Curriculum) for young children is one that provides for growth in all areas of development: Social: interactions with peers and adults Emotional: affirmation, expression, and understanding of a child's own feelings and others' feelings Physical: large and small muscle skills, awareness of his or her body's capabilities Cognitive, intellectual and creative: basic concepts and problem-solving skills that will lay the foundation for future learning.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
